## Summary

An evaluation tested the social reasoning capabilities of Gemini Robotics-ER on the SHREC human-robot social interaction benchmark and compared it with published general-purpose vision-language model baselines. Results show that Gemini Robotics-ER outperforms GPT-4o-mini on error/competence detection but performs worse on fine-grained social-attribute judgments; adding a visual frame helped one task while hurting the other.
